From the historical and enchanting region of
Spain emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Soliz family. The original bearer of the name Soliz, which is a
local surname, once lived, held land, or was born in the beautiful region of
Spain. In
Spain,
hereditary surnames were adopted according to fairly general rules and during the late Middle Ages, names that were derived from localities became increasingly widespread.
Local names originally denoted the proprietorship of the village or estate. The Soliz family originally lived in any of the numerous village and towns named Soler.
